Seco 00023724 Milling Tip 0.472 in Carbide 3 Flute MM12

Product Description

The SECO 00023724 is a carbide end replaceable milling tip designed for the Minimaster MM12 modular milling system. It features a 0.472 inch cutting diameter, three flutes, and a right-hand cut configuration with a 30-degree helix angle. The tip is coated with TiAlN and TiN via a PVD process, providing thermal resistance and edge durability. A 0.020 inch corner radius reduces chipping on entry and exit. With a maximum depth of cut of 0.604 inches and a functional length of 0.783 inches, this tip handles slotting operations in a compact, interchangeable format. It is installed by machinists and CNC tooling technicians in production and job-shop environments.

This tip is built for slotting applications across a broad range of workpiece materials including steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, titanium, and hard materials. Material grade coverage spans P10 through P50, M10 through M40, N10 through N20, and S10 through S20, making it suitable for both roughing and finishing passes depending on feed and speed selection. Coolant-through capability supports chip evacuation and heat control in deep slotting cuts. The 90-degree lead angle and M04 chipbreaker geometry are matched to the MM12 tool holder series.

Key Features

• Carbide substrate with PVD-applied TiAlN and TiN dual coating for extended tool life in steel and stainless
• Three-flute, right-hand configuration with 30-degree helix angle for efficient chip flow in slotting
• 0.604 inch maximum depth of cut with 0.472 inch cutting diameter for full-width slotting passes
• Coolant-through design aids chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup in deep cuts
• M04 chipbreaker geometry supports controlled chip formation across multiple material grades
• Interchangeable MM12 platform tip reduces downtime versus full-tool replacement

Compatibility

Designed for use with MM12 Minimaster series modular milling holders. Insert size is 0.472-R020A30 with full tip designation MM12-0.472-R020A30-M04. Conforms to ANSI standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified CNC tooling technicians or machinists. The machine spindle must be fully stopped and the tool holder secured before seating or removing the replaceable tip. Use the appropriate torque wrench and seating tool specified for the MM12 holder series — do not overtighten by hand. Verify tip seating and runout with a dial indicator before initiating a cut.
